We call and write our representatives. Many even put their lives on the line for this shit to end. And yet, here we are. Because what we haven't done is purchase our politicians npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 How did we get here? Does anyone have an opinion on the tipping point? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 Is anyone else sick of that stupid commercial where there are people shaking a drink while dancing? I believe it is the second most annoying commercial ever npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1xr8…k0ae @npub189n…satx If not now, then when? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax 🤣🤣 Wtf! Is that really from the show? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 This is the only and real Batman https://assets.newsie.social/media_attachments/files/110/891/018/357/476/845/original/36c7f242574cebc1.jpg npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax @npub19d3…zpxx No it's because the system favors incumbents and because we are a low information / fact nation. It's because we have low turnout because the choices are usually horrific and basically, the same. It's because we have those with money and power stumping for those they can control. Like pelosi stumping for an anti-woman democrat npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax @npub19d3…zpxx Soooo frustrating. When a representative votes against what the majority of the people they represent want, they should be removed npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax Won't be easy but it has to be done. The more I think about this, the madder I get npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 From what I see with a quick scan, at least 3 of the Justices currently under scrutiny for accepting lavish gifts, were on the SCOTUS when Citizens United was decided. Citizens United purchased SCOTUS npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ra6…s94j I think I'll take that. In the one I like, it has a frame. The size says "print size." Is that the size with or without the frame? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ra6…s94j I really love this. Is it for sale? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax That should work! I wouldn't be surprised if she allows it. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 Trump requests to have classified documents read and discussed at his home, with "volunteer lawyers" and others. Jack Smith files response "Are you kidding me with this,?" npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub135d…tg9k @npub1amh…t78z Shocking! Those States!

Was it attached to another? I saw something on the news that made it looked longer than the one sentence I believe he's threatening the judge. The judge called him "mister." He's pissed npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1qns…0qmc @npub1z04…0mxh True stuff. Someone said the other day that they hope he tries to escape the country on a yacht and the yacht is attacked by orcas lol npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1dsw…lq7h Both can be true npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1qns…0qmc @npub1z04…0mxh Awful, awful disgusting excuse for a person. I still like the idea of rotting in a Georgia prison. He can share a cell with the McMichaels npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1dsw…lq7h You made it there with everyone alive! You are superwoman! npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1qns…0qmc @npub1z04…0mxh Kinda like I was with Gacy, not something I would go to protest npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1dsw…lq7h 😂😂🤣 Brave woman who was invincible npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx I like the younger version better 😂😂 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1qns…0qmc @npub1z04…0mxh I have to agree with @npub1qns…0qmc on this one. I'm 100% against the death penalty. Now, I wouldn't go protest this particular one but, nope. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1gd6…jg52 @npub189n…satx AWESOME!! We know it makes no difference to them but it just feels so good! npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx Was looking right at me. Absolutely saw me. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx I think youth gives you a feeling of invincibility. But the older we get, the less we care if we're invincible or not 😁 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx It was wild. I kept thinking we were being pranked. On the way back there was a massive snowstorm in DC. We were stuck there for the night However, I was able to flip off Dubya and he saw me. So everything was worth it npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx Yep, actually said that to me. I was a defiant little shit. I almost walked out. But my Mom stopped me 😂 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx I'm glad you can laugh about it now. 😁 There was a panel in the bathroom to the cargo hold knocked out. So, they arrested everyone on the plane. Turned out someone on the cleaning crew accidentally forgot to put it back. Was a hassle. We lost our hotel reservation. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx I smoked at the time. I asked one of the cops, "so what would you do if I just left to have a smoke?" He said, very matter of factly, "shoot you." npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx Awe! That's TERRIBLE! I'm so sorry. I would have been sobbing. The only thing I have that's close to that, personally, was in January 2005, the plane I was on, from Chicago to DC, with my Mom and sister to go to the protest of Dubya's inauguration, was arrested. We were first kept on the runway for hours while the Chicago police, TSA and FBI were on and off the plane. Then we were kept at the gate, guarded by Chicago cops and K9 units for a few more hours. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx I remember a guy I worked with back in 2004ish, the same thing happened to him. I believe it was even longer, like 13 hours. I'd be out of my mind crazy. I'm a little claustrophobic. I'd have been nuts after hour 2 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax Sigh. This is why we can't have nice things npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 I can dislike Biden and trump. Why can't the GOP do the same? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v I don't think he'd live through it. Don't underestimate how evil people can be and how much they'll do for power or to be near it npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v Completely disagree with you about Rogan. He's a sell out and a liar. Frankly, I find him to be about as bad as they come. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v Well, I get what you mean but Rogan? Nah, I wouldn't be okay with him in the WH at all. There will be a comeuppance with both parties. I just don't know if it will be soon enough npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v True stuff. I still want to know what happens with this. I didn't watch today's "Trump Goes To Court" show. I don't normally listen to a word he says. Just happened to catch that comment. It's just so nonsensical. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v I can dig that answer. ✌🏻 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v I agree about neolibs and neocons. I'm not pulling anything here. The term "cancel culture" is new within the last 6 years. It still doesn't explain wtf trump thinks is going to happen with his rhetoric. He can't really believe calling for violence can help him npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v Trump. He used "cancel culture" at every turn then used the term as a weapon against others. He didn't care who. If you are referring to someone else, I'm sorry, you'll have to tell me outright because I'm not following you npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub19ah…956v I don't know who you're talking about. Can you please elaborate? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 "we can't let this happen in America" Wtf does that mean? What does he expect people to do? Seriously. He can't think his idiot followers becoming violent, AGAIN, is going to help him npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1mus…lhp7 Diabetic coma right there. But it looks worth it 😁 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax @npub1s09…6ffc I disagree. It was treasonous and sedition. He should have been charged. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 I've been writing and rewriting a sarcastic post about Florida's disgusting, vile bullshit about enslaved people benefited from being enslaved by disgusting, racist pieces of shit. But I can't. There's absolutely nothing that can be said about this other than it is the most racist thing I've seen in my lifetime. And I'm old There is no excuse for this shit. None Please, do not do business with any place in Florida or Texas npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax @npub1cm5…ragm Has it though? What are these laws and rulings but fascist? Laws and rulings that take away women's rights, the right for people to be in charge of their own healthcare, making almost impossible for some people to vote, the right to discriminate? There are more but those are the ones that quickly come to mind npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1ddp…2tax @npub1cm5…ragm Someone else said that to me in 2020, "at least if Biden wins you know you'll get to vote for the executive office in 2024. We probably won't otherwise." Biden is against adding to SCOTUS. He's against nixing the filibuster How friggin sad is it that those are our choices? I've been told my entire life that you have to vote for the lesser evil. Look where that got us. Second verse, same as the first. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 We all know we need serious change. We cannot continue down this insane path which capitalism put us. Climate disasters and all that includes, control of governments and the whim's of the insane, insecure and narcissists are all due to capitalism. The question is, how do we stop it? Voting won't change it. It may prolong the inevitable but let's not forget that Joe Biden himself said during his 2020 campaign, "nothing will fundamentally change." Protest doesn't work. What do we do? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1w8s…hlh6 And they're making it even harder. For instance, so many stores are going "cashless." This should be illegal and is in Massachusetts. It's expensive to have a checking account. If you don't have a debit card, you can't purchase at many stores and that list of stores is growing. If you need food and you use a debit card and the cost is more than you have, you get a charge for going over, a charge for going negative. You get paid and you make less than you now owe the bank. Etc npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx Oh absolutely. It may be immaterial as far as having to change it. But the fact it's not surprising should be shocking. And it's not. Just another day in the fascist, racist country in which we live. Problem is, what is it we do? I'm willing to do just about anything to bring about change. I just don't know what that looks like anymore. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx Who is surprised? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1mus…lhp7 Billie. Can't do better than that npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1x5x…d92g I think we've already shopped, couldn't find the potatoes because the potato crops all died in floods. Now we're just sitting at the table, with nothing to eat, waiting for the comet to quickly kill us. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub102e…zxal @npub1u6c…uwj7 That's really sad. He's far from progressive. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1u6c…uwj7 Thank you for the gifted article. Always appreciate that. The stakes are incredibly high. But like Biden said during his campaign, "nothing will fundamentally change." We need change. We need huge change. Starting with the wealth gap. The inequity. The inequality. Things continue to deteriorate. We need change before it's just too late npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1yqu…t2x5 Thank you @npub1yqu…t2x5 npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 I live in a pretty quiet area on the north side of Chicago. Building is fairly nice since there are new building super and manager. The only problem I've had here is the people on the first floor who are always leaving their garbage on the little deck. Usually not even covered. Last bunch has literally been there for 2 months. Mice and rats are hanging around. Thank goodness, they're moving out today! npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1tf4…nzuj Scary stuff. They're doing their best to get back to where we were when the only votes counted in this country were the votes from male, white, property owners. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 Is this correct? An instance is what your profile is on. For instance @npub17pt…maf6 Each instance allows or doesn't allow its instance to communicate with an other instance. That communication can be full or limited If an instance allows communication with another instance, the profiles on each should be able to follow each other and see each other's posts Each instance has its own set of rules and moderators Assuming the above is correct, I have questions npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1prp…6r2d @npub132q…ua6v BTW, I'm done with this. Pretending what is happening is acceptable is just unacceptable npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1prp…6r2d @npub132q…ua6v How many crimes are stopped because a cop stopped them? How many people are stuck in jail, sometimes for years, without trial because they don't have the money for bail? How many people are sucked into a never ending cycle of debt and prison because of lack of funds and unfair fines? How many dead women and young, Black men are acceptable to you? #AbolishThePolice npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1prp…6r2d @npub132q…ua6v If you think these changes are enough, are soon enough or are even being enacted, you are not paying attention. How many outright murders have we watched on body cams, especially murders of young Black men, or even children, and the murderers walk away free? How many women can't file reports of abuse because their husbands are cops? How many people die in custody because the guards killed them? Or the murder is just "unexplained"? Etc etc etc npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1n6d…w644 I have very few followers but I'm hoping boosting this helps it be seen. Good luck.

To continue to do the same thing and believe you'll get different results, or to believe that racist institutions will change incrementally (with almost no change in a century) and that is good enough for people who are oppressed, or anyone, is fucking insane. I'll add it's stupid, ignorant of facts and downright racist #AbolishThePolice npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub14ya…rz3r @npub1v4z…48dt @npub135n…p76w @npub1q4y…x7aj I'll try to figure out who that is. 😁 Thank you very much! npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub14ya…rz3r @npub135n…p76w @npub1q4y…x7aj 🤣😂.

I'm on the first reply I can see here but I can't see the original post in the thread. It's @npub1q4y…x7aj so I should be able to see it I'm still confused on some of how this fediverse thing works npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1hjd…lt8p @npub189n…satx I don't believe it's hatred. I think it's more like he's buying into the bullshit that things like Affirmative Action are no longer needed and that CRT is taught in high school and it teaches white kids to be adjacent. I give him specific examples of RECENT racist crap and he agrees, it's wrong. He just won't believe that CRT is just truth and it's not taught anywhere but college. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1hjd…lt8p Fuck this shit I'm trying so hard to make my nephew understand. But he's listening to something that is just so wrong. It's not Rogan anymore but he's not saying who. Which scares me more. He's just buying into so much racist shit. I'm not giving up npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1d3j…pz3q I've been thinking about this a great deal lately. Seems like the entire world is now using the brutality tactics of the US police departments. I think there will be a global uprising. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1e9x…tdmt It's nice to see a flaming pile of fascist dog doo doo go down in flames npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 People need to just be sure to love one another. Do not let them divide us. Hold each other tight. Hold each other up. Remember, we are not each other's victim. We are the power #FuckSCOTUS #StopCopCity #EndFascism ✌🏻❤️ npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1zqe…9kfp Very cool. I live in an apartment and have about 3 square feet of a deck. 😁 But I have a few plants I love. One is a Peace Lily.

I couldn't figure out what was wrong at first. Then I remembered I didn't use filtered water the last time I watered them. Never did that again npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1zqe…9kfp My plants almost died when I gave them tap water before it went through the Brita filter npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 Anyone want to play, "how many carbs in this?"

We'll no longer know how many are hospitalized or have long covid. We won't even know how many people are infected. The government decided because they did a horrible job with the pandemic, and corporations want people working in the office where they can be recorded and watched more easily, there's no reason to continue even pretending to try to protect the public npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1xxp…ws9v I'm looking for ideas just like the Sit Ins. Protest in the street, which recently has right wing, white supremacists, burning things down and other horrible things, currently isn't working. Perhaps I have stated my post without clarity. We need, we must, take action against the fascism creeping into our laws. I'm looking for ideas for action other than gathering in the street. I've been to, and organized, more protests than I can count. We need more ideas npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1xxp…ws9v Thank you again. These are more great examples. But they were all years and years ago. While I am looking for some ideas for take action, I believe that the only thing that will work (barring a better idea from someone) is a #GeneralStrike. That is a protest. But at this point in time, I don't think it's realistic. npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1xxp…ws9v Excellent article and example. I did mean in recent years. I also never said give up. In fact, the entire point of my post is to brainstorm for ideas to create change. Thank you for the response and the reminder of a protest that did cause change npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 I don't know how many will see and reply to this but I would love to hear ideas about actions to stop the madness. We know that protest, peaceful protest, does not work. Look at Ferguson and all the protests after the modern day lynching of George Floyd, all the climate protests. Some of the longest and largest protests and nothing has changed. What ideas do you have to stop the lunacy of the fascists who are taking over so many states? npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1rdh…a46z @npub1xg6…e6jt That one is truth. No one should watch CNN or Fox. But it's hilarious she says this less than a week after her god was on and they're pushing gop like crazy. Do you know which children she was talking about? Did she, maybe, mean the children trump separated from their parents that still haven't been reunited? Or was she talking about one of the insane QAnon things? Sorry, I can't hear it well npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub189n…satx @npub1hy4…fw8v Me too!

Places w/ plumbing & electricity. Places w/ privacy. Why is houselessness a thing? How is it possible, "there's no room for migrants"? After my grandma came here & worked for "the bluebloods of Boston" she wrote to her sister, "I hope no more girls come here. It's a terrible thing to be a slave to the yanks" I hate to think she would go through today, and she was white. What this country is putting most immigrants through is disgusting npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1z4e…jhuf .same npub1rk7crv7r93a5muegd8gxkn4a40m4llzpm0gqumnwvyqdzc40xw8spe3fm7 Mary625 @npub1c8r…pzcc @npub1kfa…6hg0 I honestly believe Don Lemon was fired so trump would do his CNN show.
